You won’t feel starved but at the sametime you’re choosing foods that are loaded with nutrients and enzymesbecause none of them have been lost in the cooking process. Your body isalso free of foods that are difficult to digest like meat, dairy, addedsugars, and anything processed, giving your internal organs a rest. Rawfoods tend to be fibrous and move through your system efficiently,pushing out undigested food matter.
